“The film’s fun, upbeat music and characters combined with the humor of Donald Duck marks the first time Disney and Pixar animators have worked on a creative endeavor where characters from both animation studios will be seen together on screen,” Disney said.

The park said it tapped one of the film’s original composers, world-renowned Germaine Franco, to produce a “Coco” score unique to Mickey’s PhilharMagic.
